"Read a mothafuckin' book, nigga! "

God Bless Ryan for suggesting that I take a look at this.

Here's what he told me...

"This is the cartoon that was being produced by one of the offices that I interviewed with, in LA. I remember hearing them talk about it. Well, it's finished now and is available for viewing and understandably, people are pretty upset about it. Look it up on Youtube, it's called "Read a Book"

And so I did.

And this is what I saw.

(This video is not safe for work. And must be watched, with sound, to get the full quality of it's presentation.)


It strikes me as a a modern "Schoolhouse Rock Live". Clearly, the authors are trying to give young blacks the important messages that they need to grow up and be healthy, productive young men and women.

And those messages are...
"Read a Mothafuckin' Book."
"Raise Yo Goddamn Kids."
"Yo Body Needs Watah, so drink that shit!"
"Buy some land. Fuck spinnin' rims."
"Brush yo goddamn teeth."
and
"Wear deoderant, nigga!"

I can see why people are upset.

Wow.
